The Soul of Man Under Socialism Quotes

Wealthy people are, as a class, better than impoverished people, more moral, more intellectual, more well-behaved. There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else. That is the misery of being poor. - Oscar Wilde (The Soul of Man Under Socialism Book Quotes)
